It is made of sterling silver and will come with a matching holy card in an organza gift bag, so it's ready to give as a present to someone else or yourself.
As a teenager Joan heard the heavenly voices of several saints instructing her to go help the king reclaim France from the English. At age 17 she was given a small army and captured the city of Orleans. She went on to have several amazing military victories. She attended King Charles VII's coronation in Reims, but the next year she was captured and sold to the English who put her on trial for heresy and witchcraft. Joan's answers her prosecutors with wit and bravery. Ultimately she was convicted of wearing men's clothes (which she wore because they protected her modesty from her male guards) and burned at the stake in 1431 at age 19.
